I already have a noisy Ithaca 37 that keeps the deer from bothering me. If I carry both the Ithaca 37 & Savage 170, would their noises cancel each other out?
I keep looking at a 170 because every time I pick one up it points real nice. Maybe it’s because I am a shotgun guy. You might be able to “rattle” in a deer with them. Mine wasn’t bad accuracy wise but I did buy it for under $300. I would dang sure not pay over $500 for one and to me that is too high unless it is a .35 Remington NIB

I have to concur that given the choice, I'd take a Remington 141 over a Savage 170 every day of the week and twice on Sundays. And I'm a Savage fan (my primary, almost the only one that ever gets used, deer rifle is a 1950s Savage 99 in .300 Savage), and not particularly enamored with Remingtons. But the difference in workmanship and quality is significant. And the 141 isn't nearly as noisy, either.

Here are some ideas to quiet an Ithaca 37. I am not familiar enough to know if it works on the 170 . https://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=183354Also my BIL puts rubber bands between the yoke & forend on his 37 to check the forend travel.

I have one I bought in the late 1970s for deer hunting in 30-30. It shoots well, feeds without a problem (don't use pointed bullets) well, and is not noisy. Good gun, low price when I bought from a LGS for about $100.

I've owned several 170s in 30-30 and one in 35 REM. They are reasonably accurate, certainly Minute-Of-Deer out to 300+/- yards. The only problem that I've had with them has been broken extractors, but if the extractors aren't broken they are reliable rifles. I don't think that they are a particularly strong action design, since they aren't much more than a Savage Model 30 shotgun in .410 reworked to be a rifle, so I'd stick to factory ammo or reloads at conservative pressure.

I think Savage built 170's for use on hunts on and around farmland. A foray into audio-flage. That's why 170's sound like a hay baler.
